What is this material

This cord is made from a blend of viscose and acetate, two fibres that work together to create that signature soft lustre and fluid drape. Viscose gives the cord a natural, silky look, while acetate adds strength and shape retention. Together they keep the cord beautifully lustrous without feeling stiff, and it holds up well with regular use. It's a classic blend you'll find in decorative trimmings and upholstery work.
